The Marian Emergency Response Team (MERT) joined the TAKBOKASYON 2025 on November 26, 2025, supporting the event’s mission by providing on-site medical assistance. They aimed to ensure the safety and well-being of all participants, deploying teams, setting up first-aid stations, and offering immediate care throughout the run.

Throughout the event, MERT played an important role in ensuring the safety of the participants. Teams were stationed at key points along the route, and are ready to respond to injuries, dehydration, or any medical emergencies. First-aid kits and hydration stations were also set up to provide immediate care and comfort to participants.

With their support, the TAKBOKASYON 2025 concluded successfully, showcasing MERT's commitment to promoting safety and preparedness.

Once again, the MERT trainees pushed through another tiring yet fulfilling day of training. In the morning, they faced the flames head-on during firefighting drills—learning how to control, contain, and put out fire scenarios with teamwork and confidence.

By the afternoon, they shifted to medical response. The trainees learned how to apply the KED and perform BLS with AED, then tested everything they learned in a field training exercise—lifting, stabilizing, assessing, and responding like real rescuers.

Tired, sweaty, pero hindi sumuko!🧡⛑️

The Marian Emergency Response Team (MERT) held its 6th training day at the SMU CICM Court on October 18, 2025 to provide the trainees with essential knowledge and practical skills on Ropemanship through a lecture and demonstration led by Sir Kim Jerric Ogaya.

During the session, the trainees learned several ropemanship techniques, including knot-tying and safety practices used in rescue operations. The hands-on training also allowed them to apply what they learned through guided and supervised demonstrations.

Additionally, their skills were put to the test through a Field Training Exercise (FTX) held in the afternoon. The trainees used the knowledge and skills they gained from previous training sessions to effectively respond to the real-life simulations of emergencies. They demonstrated teamwork and coordination in handling various scenarios, such as transporting the victims, administering first aid and bandaging, and ensuring safety procedures were properly followed. The activity not only tested their technical abilities but also strengthened their sense of responsibility and readiness for real emergency responses.

During the session, the trainees learned vital knowledge such as the importance of cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR), how to properly perform chest compressions and rescue breaths, proper use of bag-valve-mask (BVM), and more.

By providing these essential skills, it reinforces MERT's commitment to promote preparedness, safety, and awareness.
